He startled me by saying that Bush getting into Iraq without a solid exit strategy was "downright criminal."

That's a phrase that got real popular after Nam. It was my objection to Bosnia. And we are still there, propping up the UN Bureaucrats.

We don't have an "Exit strategy" on Iraq because we are never going to "Exit." Not in the next 10 years, at least. We need bases there to protect our interests in the ME. We will draw down to about 50K troops on a permanent basis by the end of next year. They will be troops we no longer need in Europe. Expect a lot of them to be up in the Kurdish area.
